Trend alert#2 - Culottes!

One of the biggest trends for next season are the culottes. You could
already spot the trend during the last days on the major fashion events around the world,
like the New York fashion week, London, Paris... .

I am a huge fan, because they are comfortable, you don't have to squeeze
yourself to get inside one of these and you can look oh so very chic in one. It's a very versatile piece that gives you the chance to try numerous
outfit styles. I already have mine, so stay tuned because they will show up in
one of my future look of the day posts.

Here are some ways on how you can use them:

Go for Elongation- These pants normally have a huge amount a fabric. To
stretch your silhouette, to look taller you can wear heels or crop tops. Ideally
for a taller silhouette I would suggest a high-waist culottes.

Customize if you must - If you found
that pair of culottes that you love, but they are too long
for you, take them to you neighborhood seamstress and she will tailor it to your size and height.

Choosing color and print- It only depends
on where you want to use it. If you are looking for a pair that you can
wear to the office, it’s best to stick to plain and solid colors, especially
neutral ones. If you want to give that special touch to your casual looks, then
be bold and go for a pair in bright colours or fun prints.
